Chapter 75
75. Alternate vacancies
According to the practice of this dynasty, 300 tributes were admitted to participate in the palace examination, and the emperor personally scored the questions and approved the Dingjia.
Half a month later, there will be a palace exam, which is the only chance for Miao Fan to meet Jun Jiu in person.
But if he didn't win, it means that he was after the three hundred. Qianqian doesn't believe that there is no cat in this anyway, Jiangzhou Qiufu Miao Fan is ninth! Even if the performance is abnormal, it is enough to move a hundred places back, right? How could the little monk in her family, who was full of wealth, not even be able to pass the top 300!
She wanted to go to the Gongyuan to ask for clarification, but after thinking about it, since someone had done something, how could she easily know that she should find someone powerful to help inquire.
Qianqian thought of Zhan Liantai.
She wrote to meet him, still the old place. At dusk, Ruan Qi came to the Mandarin Duck Bridge alone, but Zhan Liantai was nowhere to be seen.
Qianqian was surprised: "Why is it only you?" What about him? ”
Ruan Qi said with a cold face: "My lord is busy with official business and can't get out. ”
"I'm looking for him in a hurry!" Qianqian's brows furrowed, "Take me to see him." ”
Ruan Qi shook his head: "Your Excellency is in the palace." ”
"Then you take me to the palace gate, and I'll wait for him to come out."
"My lord wants to accompany the saint to the temple to worship his ancestors, and he won't come back until half a month later."
“……”
Qianqian was furious, rolled up her sleeves and crossed her waist: "What do you mean by pushing three or four?!" Zhan Liantai is avoiding me, right? You tell him to come out and make it clear if he has done something wrong! ”
Ruan Qi still had a paralyzed expression, and said unhurriedly: "My lord, let me give you a message." ”
"The time has not come, it is not appropriate to be out of office, please wait for another three years."
After saying that, Ruan Qi left, leaving Qianqian to stomp his feet angrily by the Mandarin Duck Bridge.
Ruan Qi left, Zhan Liantai avoided it, and there were no acquaintances in the court who could speak...... Qianqian walked home with a sad face, thinking to herself, do you really have to wait for another three years as Zhan Liantai said?
Miao Fan is still young, three years is not a long time, but ...... It's just unwilling!
She buried her head in misery, walking coldly and confronting a pair of cloud-headed boots, almost colliding together. Before he raised his eyes, the other party's complaint was already ringing above his head.
"I told you how you walk!"
The voice was very familiar, and Qian Qian raised his eyes and saw Zhou Tao's face full of anger.
Her brows furrowed: "You? ”
Zhou Tao suddenly showed a surprised expression, took two steps back, quite vigilant, and hated to meet her: "How can I meet you anywhere, this woman, it's really unlucky!" ”
Qianqian didn't look at him angrily: "You think I'm willing to look at your horse face, it's unappetizing." ”
Zhou Tao touched his face and said angrily: "Nonsense! Young Master Ben looks much better than you! ”
Qianqian was nesting in a belly, and just when Zhou Tao hit the joint, she reached out and twisted his ear, gritted her teeth and said, "You look better than me?" You are a big man who cares about women, are you ashamed! Bastard guy, my aunt is in a bad mood, you are biased towards me, and you are looking for a fight, right? I will fulfill you! With that, his fingers became harder and harder, and the stumbling force almost wanted to screw his ears off.
Zhou Tao didn't count that she dared to make a move, or in public, he wanted to fight back but the other party was a woman, and there were so many people around him, how could he be embarrassed to beat a weak woman?
Although this woman is not weak at all.
"Let it go!" Zhou Tao was so pulled by her that he bent down, and he almost fell to the ground. He blushed, and threatened with pain and resentment: "You, you quickly let go, otherwise Young Master Ben will be unkind!" ”
Qianqian became more and more energetic: "Who wants to be polite to you, just let the horse come!" ”
“……”
Zhou Tao's tears hurt out: "Good men don't fight with women, this young master is not afraid of you!" It's up to you...... Hiss, pain! ”
Qianqian dragged him by the ear, and "dragged" him for a long distance before throwing him away, rubbed his sour wrist, and hummed: "It's my aunt who is too lazy to bother with you, while I'm not angry, you get out." ”
Zhou Tao straightened his waist, his face was red, he glared at him while covering his ears, and gritted his teeth: "Diao woman!" You wait, Young Master Ben will definitely ......"
"You must have let me take a leave of absence, right?" Qianqianman didn't care, "You said Hugh, Hugh, which onion do you think you are?" Besides, you won't have a chance to marry him if you divorce me, huh! ”
Zhou Tao's face turned even redder, as if he had been pierced into annoyance: "You, you, full of nonsense, men marry women, this young master is a dignified seven-foot man, who, who wants to marry Tan Gongzi!" ”
Qianqian shook her head and shook her head: "Whoever thinks wrongly knows it, poof-" She even stuck out her tongue at him in provocation.
A shy look flashed on Zhou Tao's face, and Qianqian raised his hand again when he saw this.
"Don't let the toad want to eat swan meat!"
Zhou Tao sensitively dodged this time, patted his chest with palpitations, and looked at her angrily: "You female toad, dominatrix!" ”
Qianqian strode forward and wanted to clean him up, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and his palm stopped in the air.
Zhou Tao saw that she was stunned, and he was also stunned, and squeaked weakly: "What bad idea are you fighting again......"
"Young Master Zhou." Qianqian's face changed faster than the sky, just now it was lightning and thunder, now it is just spring, she smiled and put down her arm, stepped forward and gently pulled Zhou Tao's sleeve, "The slave family was joking with you just now, don't take it to heart." ”
Zhou Tao hurriedly brushed her hand away and questioned deeply: "Are you kidding? You're going to wring my ears off, it's a joke! ”
"The slave family really didn't mean it." She tried to put on a sincere smile, "Your dignified seven-foot man and husband, don't worry about a little woman with long hair and short knowledge like me." ”
Zhou Tao not only did not dispel his suspicions, but felt more and more dangerous. She was like a poisonous snake dormant in the grass, and the more harmless she looked, the more ready she was to kill him.
"Don't come here!" Zhou Tao couldn't wait to get rid of her, "I'm leaving, don't follow me!" ”
He wanted to escape, but she grabbed the corner of his clothes and smiled as little as possible: "Don't worry, Master Zhou, we have something to say." ”
Zhou Tao planned to tear his clothes out of the clutches: "I don't have anything to say to you. ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qianqian hurriedly crackled and blurted out: "My family's father-in-law has fallen off the list!" ”
Zhou Tao was about to get rid of it, but he was shocked when he heard it, thinking that he had heard something: "What did you say?" ”
"This time I will try, my father-in-law did not win." Qianqian said word by word clearly, with a depressed expression, "He has failed the list and can't participate in the palace exam." ”
Zhou Tao was stunned: "How could it be...... In the autumn of Jiangzhou, Tan Gongzi took the ninth place. ”
Qianqian pounded her chest and looked annoyed: "That's it!" I don't understand, he himself said that he played very well, and he was nine times out of ten, but the result was that he fell off the list. We wanted to go to the Ministry of Rites to ask what was going on, but we ordinary people have no power or power, and others don't care about us...... Hey, if only someone could talk to someone who would help. ”
She secretly glanced at Zhou Tao, observing his reaction and look.
I saw that Zhou Tao also looked regretful, and even a little melancholy, but he didn't say that he wanted to help. Qianqian made persistent efforts: "Presumably Zhou Gongzi is on the list, right?" Congratulations, if my father-in-law didn't fall behind, maybe I could still be a colleague with you, alas, it's really a creation and a trick......"
Zhou Tao frowned, and finally spoke: "Actually...... I can go to the Ministry of Rites and ask. ”
"Really?" Qianqian immediately showed a look of joy and gratitude, and did not give Zhou Tao a chance to regret it, "Then please!" ”
Zhou Tao looked at her with disgust and waved his hand in a grand manner: "I'm just looking at Tan Gongzi's face, it's just a gesture." ”
Qianqianxi smiled: "You are raising your noble hand and solving our urgent needs." Zhou Gongzi, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, why don't you go to the Ministry of Rites today, and I will accompany you. ”
Zhou Tao looked at the sun that was about to set, and hesitated: "It's getting late, it's better to ...... tomorrow."
"It's not too late, it's not too late!" Qianqian pushed him and walked towards the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, "This time is just right, after asking you to come out, I will invite you to have a drink." ”
Zhou Tao: "......"
Isn't it good to take advantage of people not to be so obvious?
When Zhou Tao arrived at the Ministry of Rites, he saw the officials coming out of the yamen one after another, and hurriedly stepped forward to speak. When others saw that it was Zhou Xiang's youngest son visiting, they immediately greeted them warmly.
So Zhou Tao followed several officials and went straight into the yamen, and waited outside the yamen with thousands of interest.
In less than half an hour, Zhou Tao came out, made a polite exchange with the officials of the Ministry of Rites at the entrance of the yamen, walked over with a normal face, and spit out a word in front of Qianqian: "Go." ”
Qianqian silently followed, until she turned around to avoid the gaze behind her, and the two gathered together.
Qianqian was anxious: "How is it?" What do they say? ”
I saw Zhou Tao's serious expression, a rare seriousness: "After reading the papers, several examiners will record their favorite test papers, and then under the witness of all the adults, they will open the seals together to record the names of the candidates and make the original roster of the examination." I just flipped through this roster and saw the name of Tan Gongzi. ”
"If there is a name of Xianggong, then what is he missing?" Thousands of people were surprised.
Zhou Tao shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I offended someone, and my name was removed when the list was released." He looked at Qianqian suspiciously, "Could it be that you swaggered and deceived the enemy?" ”
Qianqian didn't dare to deny it, thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Probably...... No? ”
Zhou Tao said angrily: "That's it." Look at you, I will say that you are a harmful spirit, and you always harm Tan Gongzi, you still don't believe it. ”
"I don't want to!" Qianqian Nunu mouthed and asked Zhou Tao, "Is there any way to remedy it?" ”
Zhou Tao slanted, his eyes disdainful: "It's too late to think about it when you get into trouble?" ”
"It's not too late to make amends, you won't die without help, right?"
Zhou Tao marveled at her sudden fierce and flattering face change speed, shook his head and said helplessly: "The list has been posted, and it is impossible to re-elect." ”
Qianqian was disappointed: "Then my father-in-law will have to wait for another three years?" ”
"There's another possibility." Zhou Tao said, "There is still half a month left in the palace examination, and if there is an accident during the period when there is an accident and cannot participate, the Ministry of Rites may choose someone to fill the vacancy." ”
Qianqian's eyes lit up.
Seeing her so hopeful, Zhou Tao struck and said: "Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I advise you not to hold out hope." ”
"Who said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the opportunity is earned by yourself." Qianqian clapped her hands and pulled Zhou Tao to discuss, "I'm in charge of finding the tribute who 'had an accident', and you are in charge of dredging the Ministry of Rites, how about it?" ”
Zhou Tao didn't refuse her, but wondered: "How do you know that someone will have an accident in Lu Dao?" ”
"I said there will be, don't worry." Qianqian hooked up with him, acting like a confidant and friend, "We're all for my good time, right?" So if you have money to contribute, you can help, you won't be so unrighteous? ”
Zhou Tao suddenly had a feeling that it was easy to get on a thief ship and get off a thief ship.
In the middle of the moon, thousands of people returned home, and Miao Fan lit a lantern and stood at the door waiting for her.
Seeing her spring breeze appearing, he stepped forward with a lantern, his expression a little stiff: "I'm back." ”
"Hmm!" Yesterday she was still very lost, but now she was in a good mood, standing on tiptoe and hugging his neck and kissing him, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" ”
Miao Fan smelled the unfamiliar smell on her body, and lowered her eyes slightly: "Hmm." ”
She happily took a bite on the skin of his mouth: "Three days at most, I will have a very important news to tell you, you wait!" ”
As soon as he let go of his wrist, the lantern fell to the ground, burned in a flutter, and quickly turned to ashes.
"You ......," he said, with a sour look in his eyes, "are you leaving?" ”
